Another week, another update for Pokémon Shuffle! Both the 3DS and mobile versions are some new challenges and a few repeat runs.

First up is the Mega Sceptile challenge, which will give players the chance to win some Sceptilite. The competition runs until April 12th, with players getting better rewards depending on how well they do. To get the Sceptilite, 3DS players will have to be one of the top 20,000 in the US, 12,000 in Europe, or 50,000 in Japan. The top 80,000 mobile players will also earn it. For 3DS, the top 2,000 US, 1,200 European, and 5,000 Japanese players will get a Raise Max Level, while the top 8,000 mobile players will get a Mega Speedup. Being in the top 30,000 in the US, 18,000 in Europe, 70,000 in Japan for the 3DS, or 120,000 on Mobile will earn you two Attack Powers. Everyone else will earn a Jewel.

Both versions are getting a repeat run of Tornadus (Incarnate Forme), running until April 12th. This challenge can only be played once per day, but the catch rate increases each day.

Lastly, the Groudon and Emboar stages will be available on both versions until April 19th. Groudon is a repeat run for both versions, while Emboar is returning to 3DS and new to mobile.
